In a paper for an art history class, a student claims that Grace Hartigan's 1954 painting Grand Street Brides marks a significant change in Hartigan's artistic development.
Which quotation from an art history textbook would most effectively support the student's claim?
"Grand Street Brides has been analyzed extensively since it was first exhibited, as no two viewers seem to agree about exactly what the painting means."
A
"Of all Hartigan's paintings, none so clearly represents her abilities and ideas as Grand Street Brides."
B
"Although Hartigan was clearly influenced by other artists of her time, she was also an artist ahead of her time, as Grand Street Brides demonstrates."
C
"The paintings that Hartigan produced before Grand Street Brides can be thought of as belonging to her earlier style, to which she never returned."
